The smoke clears to show Team Rocket floating in outer space. Mew and Mewtwo appear and fly past the trio, with Rayquaza and Deoxys close behind. The scene transitions to Ash and company at a field of flowers and a nearby pond with Manaphy in it, and Celebi and Jirachi floating around it. At the same time, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf can be seen floating around Ash and his friends as they sing with the lyrics of the song. A Shaymin appears, and transforms into its Sky Forme as a closeup of the flowers reveals them to be Gracideas.

Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are seen emerging from the clouds to join Arceus. A closeup of each of Ash's current Pokémon appears, and then cuts to Paul facing off against Ash. The camera backs out to reveal a large battlefield with miscellaneous Pokémon silhouetted in the background. Ash and a variety of his Pokémon are ready for battle against his rivals Nando, Conway, Paul, and Barry, while Dawn and Brock look on.

Trivia

Lucario is the only wild Pokémon featured in this opening that isn't a legendary Pokémon.

Not counting A New Oath, this is the only Japanese opening where an artist other than Rica Matsumoto returns to perform another opening.

This is the only Japanese Diamond & Pearl series opening not to show any of Jessie's or James's Pokémon. However, at the same time, this is the first time that Jessie's alias "Jessilina" appeared in an opening.

Despite being obtained in DP171 and appearing earlier in the opening, Dawn's Togekiss was never featured in the group shot. Additionally, the opening was not edited to show the evolution of Ash's Cyndaquil.

The Greatest - Everyday! is the only Diamond & Pearl series opening whose remix does not contain the year that the remix was released in the title. This was probably due to the fact that the remix was released the same year as the original version.

In the original version, when Ash and his friends are in the field with the lake guardians, they are singing along with the lyrics. In the remix, due to slightly different timing, their lip sync is slightly off. This was corrected in DP186.
